The Midwest Relativity Meetings aim to bring together researchers from across the Midwest and beyond to discuss General Relativity and a broad range of topics in gravitational physics, including classical and quantum gravity, numerical relativity, relativistic astrophysics, cosmology, gravitational waves, experimental gravity, and other related topics.

As was in the past, talks will consist of short contributed papers in an informal atmosphere. Each participant may present a talk of ~15 minutes. Professors, post-docs, graduate students, and undergraduates working on relevant topics are encouraged to present their work. The Blue Apple Prize will be awarded to the best graduate student speaker.
